As a general rule, when participating in some sort of illicit activity, it is best to do it in secret. This is why binge eaters keep boxes of cookies stashed in their cars and bedside tables, and drug users don't usually walk down the street offing to share with passers-by. Similarly, it is not a good idea to, say, put those drugs into burgers at the restaurant where you work - especially not if you are going to serve those burgers to police officers.

This was the lapse in judgment suffered by three Burger King employees in New Mexico. The officers noticed that something was amiss after a few bites of burger and used a field testing kit to determine the source of the problem. The trio was arrested for aggravated battery on an officer (a felony) and possession of marijuana.
